- Administrative Precision: Handle all necessary documentation, including quotes and accurate data entry into proprietary management software.
- Compliance Management: Vet all carrier partners for proper insurance, licensing, and performance history to mitigate risk.
Requirements
- Professional Background: At least 2–3 years of successful experience in logistics sales, brokerage, or transportation management.
- Lifecycle Expertise: Proven familiarity with a full-cycle business model, managing both the sales and operational sides of freight independently.
- Financial Motivation: A strong desire to influence your own income, with expected monthly earnings in the $12,000–$15,000 range.
- Relationship Management: A track record of building and retaining a book of business that can be successfully transitioned.

- Work Ethic: Highly motivated, autonomous, and capable of maintaining performance standards in a flexible environment.
IMPORTANT – If you are qualified and interested, please include your resume and answers to the following:
- What motivates you to seek a new opportunity at this time?
- Are you open to a 1099 role (all commission)? Again, earnings should be in the $12-15K ballpark per month.
